Improving disability access and support in higher education   

Written by

At the University of Liverpool, we have two decades of experience in online higher education and are proud to recognise the diverse needs of the student community. The need for providers to foster a culture of inclusivity is growing as more students disclose the need for adjustments. In fact, experts predict that by 2033 disabled students will make up over one third of UK enrolments.[i] In this blog post, we highlight how online study at the University of Liverpool is making higher education more accessible. 

Disability advice and guidance 

Wherever in the world you are joining from, we are committed to assisting you throughout your study journey. There are a range of support services available from academic support to wellbeing; and our dedicated Disability Support Team is on hand to provide disability guidance. They can implement reasonable adjustments for your course to help support you during your studies and do so based on your specific needs and requirements. We aim to provide a non-judgemental space where you can raise any issues related to your wellbeing and find a solution.

Flexible study options 

On-campus universities can be overstimulating for neurodiverse individuals, leading to poor performance and mental shutdowns. Studying remotely can be an excellent alternative to traditional lecture schedules and environments. All learning resources are available online 24 hours a day, seven days a week to access when it suits you best. Online study also provides a unique opportunity to create a comfortable study space at home that works for your specific disability needs. 

Assistive technology 

Our state-of-the-art learning platform is at the heart of your study experience. Integrating accessibility tools and assistive technology in addition to this can make it easier to participate in all aspects of your studies. Examples of useful tools for those with disabilities include: 

  • Mind-mapping software 
  • Calendar management 
  • Productivity timers 
  • Speech recognition 
  • Screen magnification 
  • Adaptive keyboards  

Online networking 

Online global networking is inclusive and removes the communication and mobility barriers that come with in-person activities. Throughout your programme, you will also have access to a wide range of careers resources, which includes building connections with potential employers in the same way that you would at an on-campus university. 

Why study online with the University of Liverpool?  

There are many ways the University of Liverpool can support your study journey:    

  • Dedicated Student Support Team and Disability Support Team 
  • Study from anywhere, at a time convenient to you   
  • Interact remotely with an international community   
  • Access our state-of-the-art accessible learning platform     

We are committed to providing all students with an equal opportunity to interact, learn, and excel on their chosen programme.

Spotlight on our online MSc Digital Marketing programme 

Written by

Forging a successful career path in digital marketing often requires a strong academic understanding and an ongoing awareness of the latest trends in marketing. In this blog post, Chloe Spence – Director of Studies, MSc Digital Marketing (Online) at the University of Liverpool – explains how the online MSc Digital Marketing programme can help to enhance your career.

Who is the online MSc Digital Marketing best suited to? 

The online Digital Marketing MSc has been designed to suit people with a range of different backgrounds and aspirations. While this is ideal for graduates from business and management disciplines hoping to specialise in digital marketing, it is also open to those with entirely unrelated undergraduate degrees. Additionally, there is an alternative route for students with practical experience but no prior qualification. We assess each application individually and will sometimes have meetings with potential candidates to assess their capabilities.  

Which elements of digital marketing are covered on the programme? 

The MSc programme provides a broad, analytical, and integrated study of digital marketing and management-related issues. This covers key aspects of the digital marketing environment and how each of these influences the marketing strategy. Modules include a combination of essential digital marketing content and theory (such as digital communications and social media marketing) as well as core business skills tailored to the needs of marketing practice (for example, leadership and ethical and sustainable practice). That way, the programme equips students with the specialist skills and knowledge needed to be effective digital marketing managers, staying on top of recent developments and emerging trends in theory and practice. 

Why choose the University of Liverpool’s triple-accredited Management School? 

The University of Liverpool Management School is one of an elite group of schools with gold standard triple accreditation (by AACSB, AMBA, and EQUIS), with a guiding vision of transformative teaching and research placing us at the forefront of knowledge leadership. As well as academic excellence, employability is a central concern that underpins the development of the MSc programme specifically. Industry employers are also being actively involved in programme design and activities/assessments designed to promote engagement with work-based issues. The programme benefits from a comprehensive and holistic approach, ensuring students not only grasp key theoretical concepts but can apply these in practice. Graduates are therefore well-positioned to pursue leadership-level roles, having both the prestige that comes with the MSc qualification and the deep understanding and skills to back this up. 

What are the benefits of studying for an online master’s in digital marketing? 

We offer a fully online and part-time programme. This provides unparalleled flexibility, allowing students to study according to their own schedule –  beneficial for those with work or personal commitments. Module content is delivered through a range of learning materials, including weekly assigned readings and podcasts. Learning is further developed through a combination of interactive individual activities, collaborative tasks, and discussion boards. As well as facilitating independent learning, the online programme also enables students from all different backgrounds and parts of the world to connect and collaborate. This provides them with opportunities to learn from peers and work together to address practical real-world problems. 

What career opportunities are available for digital marketing graduates? 

Our objective is to ensure graduates are highly effective and professional digital marketers. This may be advancing within an existing role in marketing, moving into a marketing position, or developing a managerial career. Typically, we wouldn’t expect graduates to be pursuing entry-level roles. Instead, we would be preparing them more for leadership, with the potential to enter senior management positions with salaries above £45,000. So, this is a well-paid career, and for passionate and committed students, the MSc can be a hugely valuable investment in their professional futures and open up a world of opportunities.

How prestigious is an online MBA?     

Written by

The first master’s degree in Business Administration (MBA) was established at Harvard University in 1908 and remains a recognised qualification for managers and business leaders today. In this blog post, we share more about this prestigious business qualification and why studying an MBA online at the original ‘redbrick’ university is sure to make a lasting impression.  

What does an MBA involve?  

This prestigious degree was first introduced by the Harvard University Graduate School of Administration over 100 years ago and aims to develop high-level knowledge across a broad spectrum of business areas. Today, these include strategy, digital marketing, sustainable and responsible leadership, finance, and data analytics. Demand for graduates has continued to grow over the years, with over a third of global recruiters expected to hire more MBA graduates in 2024 than last year[i].  

Who is the MBA best suited to?    

The MBA is an ideal qualification for professionals looking to progress in the corporate world, who already have some level of experience. Perhaps you want to move from a managerial to senior management position, change to a specialist role, or become a management consultant. Typically, managers looking to invest in this reputable qualification will aspire to graduate from elite institutions such as the University of Liverpool, which is triple accredited by AMBA, EQUIS, and AACSB.

Why should I choose the Liverpool online MBA?  

The University of Liverpool’s online MBA was ranked in the top 10 worldwide by the Financial Times’ Online MBA Ranking 2023, putting it alongside some of the best programmes worldwide.

What are discussion forums and how do they enhance the online learning experience?   

Written by

All online programmes at the University of Liverpool are designed with collaboration, shared learning, and networking in mind. Discussion forums are a core part of the online learning experience, helping to enrich the study experience and to promote interaction with peers. In this blog post, we dive into discussion forums and outline how they provide an excellent opportunity for students to interact with each other, the learning content, and their tutor.      

How do discussion forums work on the online programmes? 

Your fellow students will bring their own understanding, knowledge and perspectives to your postgraduate course, which makes learning alongside and from your peers an important part of the online educational experience. Building on this, and to help foster a community of learning and engagement, discussion forums feature in all the University of Liverpool online programmes. 

These forums are a way to share ideas and independent research with your cohort without having to meet in real time. Some forums will form part of your final mark, and some are just for putting your thoughts together so faculty or other students can respond. Discussion forums give you time to think carefully about the topics and a place to test your understanding of the material. 

What benefits do discussion forums have for students? 

Discussion forums have several benefits, including giving you the opportunity to think before you speak (or write) allowing you to engage with the discussion topic and reflect on what you want to say. You are also able to see the thoughts and responses of all your fellow students, something which is not easy to accomplish in a classroom setting with group dynamics and time constraints. 

Discussion forums promote active learning and are a great medium for challenging your current perspective on subject areas, theories, and concepts. With an international community in every cohort, discussion forums are a great way to share knowledge and experiences from participants around the world. An open mind will allow you to gain a valuable global perspective from peers. 

You can also use the discussion forums as a platform to deepen your subject knowledge and sharpen the skills required to meet your career aspirations. These include core areas such as research, critical evaluation, referencing, and academic writing skills.  

How do students get the most out of discussions? 

  1. Be clear on the topic 

Before you start posting in the discussion forum you should be researching the discussion topic, utilising materials within the online module and learning platform, such as the e-library, as well as external sources. If you don’t understand the question, your tutor is always available to provide clarification and further guidance. 

  1. Write with purpose  

You won’t have many words to present your argument or demonstrate your research, so direct writing, supported by relevant academic literature and careful citation of sources, is central to a successful discussion post. Students are encouraged to run a quick spelling and grammar check before publishing and to maintain a professional tone during all interactions.  

  1. Keep the discussion moving  

Although online students are often posting from a variety of time zones, you should try your best to make a conversation flow by checking the forums regularly. By logging in regularly and responding to other students’ posts quickly you’ll make it easier to follow the thread of a discussion while also giving yourself plenty of time to meet any requirements around the number of posts you might be expected to make. 

In what other ways do students interact with each other? 

You will interact using features of the virtual learning environment (VLE), available to access at any time and built with community in mind. Learn how the platform facilitates and supports your studies in this online video. Further opportunities to build connections throughout and after your studies include:   

  • Collaborative group projects 
  • Virtual social events 
  • In-person graduation ceremony 
  • Extensive alumni network 

The facilities provided for online studies – such as the availability of resources and study materials, e-library, student support and discussion forums, along with global connections – rendered my idea of studying at the University of Liverpool a thrilling and enriching one.

Five transferable skills you gain by studying psychology   

Written by

Psychology is a fascinating and thought-provoking subject that delves into the complexities of human behaviour and motivation. Understanding the study of the mind can help foster key interpersonal skills, which can be applied to a wide range of professions. In this blog post, we share five transferable skills you will gain by studying our British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited online Psychology (Conversion) MSc.   

Enhance your communication skills  

During your studies, you will cover topics such as personality, intelligence and individual differences, while engaging with peers from across the world using discussion forums. Challenge perspectives and psychological theories and take on an open-minded approach to help you learn from other backgrounds, cultures, and contexts. Listening, communicating, and delivering information effectively are all important skills needed in today’s global work environment.  

Expand your critical thinking  

As you explore different areas of psychology, there will be many opportunities to critically review data. Professionals across all roles face challenges and uncertainties – and having the ability to frequently assess the significance of information will enable you to approach problems with logical solutions as they arise. This skill can also be implemented into areas of your personal life, useful in today’s fast-paced world.  

Develop essential research skills  

Theory studied on the online Psychology (Conversion) MSc is research-led and aligned with the Department of Psychology’s strong research ethos. Learning how to harness large amounts of data, and present key psychological findings, is an essential skill that can transferred to a variety of roles. Whether you need to collate findings or use the research to persuade others, skills in this area are highly valuable to employers.  

Think analytically  

Organisations are becoming increasingly reliant on analytics to make informed decisions. The scientific skills gained during a psychology degree can help with forecasting, planning, and predicting future trends. This subject area allows you to consider wider points of view and examine complex information by breaking it into manageable chunks. A psychology understanding lends itself particularly well to careers in government administration, education, finance, IT, human resources, and research.  

Manage your time effectively  

During your online and part-time psychology studies, you will learn how to manage competing responsibilities spanning across your studies, work, and personal life. Planning your time effectively is essential and a psychology background will give you the tools to work with emotional intelligence across a range of different environments. From conflict management, to leading a team and referencing sources for a report – you will be better equipped to allocate time to different areas of your working life.  

Why study online with the University of Liverpool?
